And The Ice Pirates ain’t too shabby either. Its so nice to see someone mention those two classics :). Anytime I bring them up(which is rarely…), I just get deafening silence as a response… Anyway, long time lurker, who really enjoys the wide ranging scope of your blog…

The music was superb. James Earl Jones changes into a snake! Arnold mostly kept his mouth shut, except for “the lamentation of his women”, which my wife and I quote to each other regularly.

That movie is pure Kraft-American-with-a-glass-of-milk-in-every-slice cheese.

Krull is just bad, but I still like it. It’s on my Netflix Watch Instantly list, but I haven’t been brave enough yet to watch it. I remember really liking it as a kid, and I know watching it again will destroy those memories forever.

Could they not have done that in CGI?
